Matsugen

Jean-Georges Vongerichten must be pleased by Frank Bruni's review of Matsugen in The New York Times today. Bruni writes about Matsugen with admiration, stating-

"None of this restaurant’s eight types of sushi rolls wears the tag “California” or incorporates avocado...The sushi and sashimi there receive less promotion than what’s on the third page: different kinds of soba — buckwheat noodles — presented in different ways. Soba is Matsugen’s defining mission, its central selling point. And that puts it on rarer, riskier ground than its neighboring peers inhabit."
